The service remembers your passwords, but you can click a box to see what it is. Spam filters have got much better, but a lot of unwanted email still gets through.

If you find a website with a form that MaskMe doesn't recognise, right-click on the email or password box la and choose MaskMe. Click Email to choose an alias or your real email address. Password can create a strong password.
Click the add-on's icon to go to the homepage. Select Masked Emails for a list of the sites where you've registered with an alias.Initially, addresses are set to Forwarding. If you get spam from them, click the button to change it to Blocked.
Click the Home tab, then Account List to show your protected accounts. In You can set the software to remember all your logins and passwords or just those you've masked. Click 'View or Print Account Info' to see a printable list.
When you get an email from a site you registered a masked address with. MaskMe forwards it to your existing email, so it will turn up as normal. However, a header is attached with links to block the mail if you think you're being spammed.
